Concussion like symptoms in an AAU game

[grunewar]

I use the clarification from the 2010/11 Preseason Guide as my rule. It states, "The responsibility for obtaining that clearance (medical) rests with the coach/school, and need not be verified by the officials (unless state procedures require verification). If A2 appears at the scorer's table to re-enter the game, the officials shall assume the coach/school followed the appropriate return-to-play procedures and A2 is eligible to participate.

I might go as far as saying to the coach, "she ok?" But that's about it for me.

We have a state law as well that there is a procedure that must be followed. That would not comply with the state law, at least with the school model.

Understand.

We don't have additional state guidance here in VA that I am aware of. So, if the league doesn't have any supplemental guidance, I use Fed rules.

You can never be too careful, Jeff. Error on the side of caution when it comes to that stuff. These kids are still developing, and any brain injury could affect the rest of their life.
